Pretzel Rolls, Pretzel Buns and a Trip to Sedona

We are so excited to be heading to Sedona this month. It is certainly the most beautiful place I have ever been. Last year we spent a few days with my parents in Sedona. Some of the best memories of my life were made on that trip.

Seeing some of the most amazing sights together, laughing together and watching my mom with my daughter was a gift and I am so excited to head back.

Of course while we were visiting we HAD to stop to get dinner. We ended up at The Cowboy Club. Honestly, the wait to get in was horrendous. The line was soooo long. But, I would do it all again to sink my teeth into one of those fabulous burgers.

It was indeed those burgers that inspired this recipe for Pretzel Buns/Pretzel Rolls. Soft, tender, perfect for every sandwich or burger and FABULOUS as a dinner roll recipe.

Grease a large bowl with butter. Add dough to bowl, turn to coat. Cover
bowl with plastic wrap, then a towel; let dough rise in a warm
draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Prepare a baking sheet by covering with parchment paper. Set aside.

Punch dough down and knead on lightly floured surface until smooth.
Divide into 8 pieces. Form each dough piece into ball (about 5 ounces
each). Place dough balls on prepared sheet, flattening each slightly.
Using serrated knife, cut X in top center of each dough ball. Cover with
towel and let dough balls rise until almost doubled in volume, about 1
hour.

Meanwhile: Preheat oven to 375°F. Prepare another baking sheet by
covering it in parchment and sprinkling it with cornmeal. Set aside.
Prepare and set aside beaten egg.

I love anything pretzel related, these look fabulous! My parents lived in Sedona for many years, and we were there for every holiday when my kids were growing up. It's magical. I want to live there...enjoy your trip!

Your recipes are great, easy and definitely worth a try at least once. The best part is the pictures, I always drool on my keyboard when I browse through your blog. Rekindling my love for cooking through this blog, keep it up! :)
